Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

When the ship finally docked, the noble ladies, supported by their maids, eagerly stepped out of the cabin.

Standing outside, I saw a large group of people on the shore.

They recognized their family members and immediately disembarked from the boat to run towards them.

Then, feeling wronged and frightened, they recounted what had just happened on the ship.

For a time, cries and words of comfort filled the air.

Xiao Muyao was also among the group. He helped Lingyan off the boat and carefully examined her to see if she was injured.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "I'm fine. The assassin didn't even get close to me."

Xiao Muyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the Eighth Princess said jealously, "Sixth Brother, you are my own brother, born of the same mother. How come you only care about your sister-in-law and never care about me? I also survived an assassination attempt!"

Xiao Muyao patted her head affectionately and smiled, "I just checked on you, and you're fine, aren't you? Besides, this assassination attempt was aimed at your sister-in-law, so it's normal for me to be worried."

The Eighth Princess slapped his hand away, saying in a resentful tone, "How many times have I told you not to touch my head and mess up my beautiful hairstyle?"

As she spoke, she kept tidying up the section of hair that Xiao Muyao had touched, a coquettish expression typical of a young girl on her face.

Xiao Muyao smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, brother understands."

But it didn't say it would never be touched again.

Then he turned to the Ninth Princess with a smile and said, "I just heard from the guards that Little Ninth Princess really showed great power this time, she's amazing!"

The Ninth Princess immediately gave a smug snort.

Then he said smugly, "Of course, I'm a hero!"

Xiao Muyao smiled and agreed, "Yes, heroine!"

At this moment, many ministers and their wives, along with their daughters, bowed to Lingyan and her group, saying, "Thank you, Prince Rui! Thank you, Princess Rui! Thank you, Ninth Princess!"

If it weren't for the people brought by Princess Rui and the Ninth Princess turning the tide during this assassination attempt, they probably wouldn't be able to see their daughter now.

Even after the incident, Princess Rui sent her palace guards to inform them to come and take her daughter back.

They expressed their heartfelt gratitude for such great kindness and virtue.

The Ninth Princess waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Lingyan smiled slightly and said, "Esteemed ladies and mistresses, there's no need for such formalities. In truth, it was I who dragged you all into this."

The adults and ladies present had just heard their daughters recount the assassination attempt, and with their keen senses, they could naturally tell who was behind it.

Therefore, the Princess Consort cannot be blamed; the blame lies with the Fifth Princess for dragging her own daughter into this mess.

They quickly replied, "It has nothing to do with the Princess!"

Lingyan returned the smile with a gentle, warm one.

The reason she sent her guards to notify the families to come and pick them up was because she felt that these noble ladies had suffered a life-or-death ordeal and must be emotionally devastated, and what they needed most was the company and comfort of their families.

That's why I instructed the secret guards to inform them.

At this moment, the Sixth Princess finally found an opportunity to anxiously say to Xiao Muyao, "Sixth Brother, Fifth Sister has vomited blood and fainted. Quickly send us back to the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyao's smiling face immediately turned cold.

He then chuckled twice, his voice cold and chilling, and said, "She fainted; it's her own fault. What does it have to do with me?"

The sixth princess froze, saying in disbelief, "Sixth brother, how could you be so heartless? She's your own sister, how could you have no connection to her?"

Xiao Muyao no longer wanted to talk to someone as stupid as her, lest he lower his own standards.

So he took Lingyan's hand and left with the three princesses.

No matter how much the Sixth Princess shouted and yelled from behind, he remained unmoved.

Lingyan was almost speechless with exasperation at the Sixth Princess.

How could a princess be so stupid?

Doesn't she have a brain? Doesn't she have any intelligence?

Everyone here now knows that the assassination was orchestrated by the Fifth Princess, but she, who spends every day with the Fifth Princess, was completely oblivious to it.

They really thought the Fifth Princess had kindly invited them to go boating on the lake.

Now it's only natural that Xiao Muyao would send them back.

How foolish and naive!

The crowd standing there watched the Sixth Princess in this state, and then looked at the Fifth Princess who had fainted, and couldn't help but sneer.

He quickly got into his own carriage and left in a hurry.

There was absolutely no intention to include the fifth and sixth princesses.

Just kidding, they almost caused so many people to be killed this time.

They're not masochists, so why would they help the mastermind behind the murder?

They were not afraid of being held accountable by Emperor Jingzhao, because they were the victims this time, and even Emperor Jingzhao would not blame them.

Moreover, so many noble ladies are involved this time, including several princesses.

With so many court officials present, the law does not punish the masses, so Emperor Jingzhao would certainly not hold it against them.

So after they left, only the Fifth Princess, the Sixth Princess, and the few maids they brought remained on the shore.

It wasn't until sunset that a palace carriage arrived to take them back to the palace.

The fifth princess didn't wake up until midnight.

After waking up and hearing the palace maid recount everything that had happened during the day, she fainted again from anger, causing chaos in the palace once more.

………………

At this moment, Xiao Muyao led Lingyan to the carriage.

After bidding farewell to the three princesses, they boarded a palace carriage and returned to the palace.

Xiao Muyao also helped Lingyan into his own carriage.

After the carriage started moving slowly, Xiao Muyao poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "Are you tired? Have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."

Ling Yan smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I don't know any martial arts, and I didn't even make a move, so how could I be tired!"

Xiao Muyao wanted to ask her again about her special skill.

He knew she didn't want to say more, so he didn't speak.

Instead, he held her and let her rest against him.

Ling Yan naturally knew that the guards must have told him about this.

The situation was urgent, and she didn't care about being exposed. It was a matter of life and death; she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's exposed.

This person is her husband, so it doesn't matter if he finds out.

Instead, his failure to get to the bottom of things once again made her feel that she hadn't married the wrong person.

This man always understood and tolerated her so well.

So she hugged him even tighter.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, lifting the carriage curtain.

Lingyan turned her head and saw the scenery outside.

A thought struck her, and she immediately ordered the car to stop.

Xiao Muyao looked at her, puzzled.

Lingyan smiled slightly and pulled him down from the carriage.

Xiao Muyao looked up and then understood why she had stopped.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast sea of ​​flowers, with colorful blossoms spread out like brocade, stretching into the distance and complementing the blue sky and white clouds.

Before my eyes stretched an endless expanse of vibrant colors: red like fire, pink like the sunset, white like snow, and shades of purple and yellow, interwoven and interspersed, creating a breathtakingly beautiful picture.

A gentle breeze stirs the sea of ​​flowers, causing it to ripple and surge like waves. Each flower is like a graceful dancer, swaying in the wind and performing its own unique rhythm.

Some are vibrant and beautiful, some are fresh and elegant, some are passionate and unrestrained, and some are reserved and demure, yet they all bloom with their own unique beauty in this vast world.

The rich fragrance lingered in the air, entered the nostrils, and made the heart feel intoxicated.
